The Daily Mail and Evening Standard trainee subs have had a week laying out pages and developing their InDesign and Photoshop skills with Mike Brough and editing long form articles with Fiona Webster. They finished the week as always with the newsquiz. The top scorers were George Bond, Sophie Watkiss and Will Tilbrook who all scored 15, narrowly beating Katherine Cowles on 14.
Last week George and Dora Allday scored 20, a score that was matched by Janet Boyle and Martin Cowles online. The Penmans were the top scoring team with 16.
Here is this week’s quiz. As usual there are 25 questions about the week’s events. Let me know how you get on.
